Event Notes Note (1) Name on headstone: Ben Wilson. Note (2) Birth date calculated from age 49y5m24d stated in death record. This would conform to the age 18 given at time of Nov 1891. An 1879 birth date reported by other researchers is apparently in error. Note (3) Name on headstone: Lola G. Wilson.
